The Rescuing Hug: A Story about Twins and Human Connection
That's such a cute story!
When my baby niece and nephew were infants they always shared the same bassinet/crib, and you would always find them cuddling, and hugging each other, even as newborns. They had their own cribs after they were a bit ...

Scripture Memory Made Simple
I made a free iPhone Bible Memory app which helps me to practice scripture memory verses. It lets you memorize scripture in whatever size chunks works best for you, as you mention, and you can ...

Scottish Independence: The Battle of Bannockburn Pt 4
You've just aptly summarized, in two sentences, what it's taken me four articles to describe! LOL Good fight.
Yes, it did all come together brilliantly for the Scots. You can be quite suspect about Robert the Bruce's motives, but there's no ...

Scottish Independence: The Battle of Bannockburn Pt 4
"He had doubted from the beginning that it could be achieved," with the English army size I'd have felt the same!
I think the Scottish had a good bit of wit in their fighting, and the English a good bit of arrogance going in, they probably ...

Scottish Independence: The Battle of Bannockburn Pt 4
Wow! Now that's what I call a good reaction. I'm glad that my Bannockburn series has been this... is 'enjoyable' appropriate in the circumstances?

Scottish Independence: The Battle of Bannockburn Pt 1
I should imagine that every child in Scotland will have heard about Bannockburn, whether through school, stories told by their parents or constant reference in the newspapers. Whether it's the proper history, or a very sketchy 'Yay! We Won!' ...

Scottish Independence: The Battle of Bannockburn Pt 1
Ah, okay I made the correlation but I was wondering if they were even similar beyond that. So is this a war history most people from Scotland will be very familiar with? I know the Revolutionary war is taught like every single year of school ...

San Francisco Pride: How one city developed such a thriving LGBT community
I'm really looking forward to the follow up article. That should be an amazing insight.

San Francisco Pride: How one city developed such a thriving LGBT community
Kari, thank you! It was the same for me when I started looking into this. I'm planning a follow up article as one of my house-mates serves on the pride board and knows a lot of people, many whom lived through a lot of this history. I'm looking ...

There Are Only Seven Stories in The World
Hi, Rose. Yeah, I would agree about Jane Austen's work. You may be able to find other 'story types', too. For instance, does Elizabeth have a 'rebirth' in P&P? But predominantly, they're comedies, for sure.

Scottish Independence: The Battle of Bannockburn Pt 3
As a Scot yourself, I take that as high praise indeed!
I've nearly completed the fourth and final installment, but I also have nephews on the way here. It might be tomorrow before that part surfaces. I hope that I've done it justice.

Not Your Normal Things to Do With a Crock Pot
I would have to muster up courage to try to make yogurt in a crock pot. But I learned that trick with dried beans a long time ago. Way easier than how my mother used to cook them. Baked potatoes in a crock pot? Genius!! :)

What Happened to the Waltons After The Waltons Finished?
Yes, the family lived in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. I bet that your Mum would know all about it. I'm guessing that it is, as you said, a generational thing.
Nope, I haven't even heard the Brady Bunch catchphrase. I feel like I'm ...
